(Imaginary numbers though can fuck off)

I understand the sentiment, but complex numbers literally fall out of computations once you start shaking them hard enough.

Yes, they’re difficult and hard and have a stupid name tagged onto them. Also, they exist and are useful.

If you’re worried about it still, it wasn’t nothing. Might not have risen to the legal definitions of SA, but the law isn’t a good yardstick for that. Might be worth talking more about to see how you really feel about it.

Not really the biggest, but most complex: the ornithopter set. Tremendous fun, and some of the mechanics feel borderline lego-illegal.

Yes

I just pop mine in my mouth every now and then.

Challenge accepted!

I only have so many spoons, and the tasks are unending…

Not those spoons, spoons.

When there are no more spoons, you need to just go to bed.

The address on my restraining order isn’t current. Get me your new address and I’ll get you.

Something. I’ll get you something.

Print jobs are both completed successfully and failed until someone checks the queue.

I don’t miss them either, but they were necessary in moving our portable devices forward. Everyone and their best friend was making bigger and faster laptops. No one was making power efficient and light ones. Netbooks filled that need. And cost less than a macbook air by a large margin.

I used an Acer one with an atom as a mobile terminal for six years before the battery gave up on me. I was getting a day’s work out of a device I could fit in my (oversized) back pockets. And since it was just an SSH device, the speed didn’t matter.

Perhaps, but the unpleasant ones are usually very unpleasant and sometimes violent.

My wife and I will accommodate vegans so long as they’re content to keep it to themselves. If we don’t wish to eat the same thing, that’s our choice and not intended as an offense.

For me, it isn’t really a hatred, more a “I’m tired of hearing about this.” It’s almost never “I’m vegan” and that’s the end of it. It’s all too often “I’m vegan and you should be too and you should feel bad for not being vegan and here in my TED talk I will cover…”

Be vegan if you want. If you decide to proselytize, take “no” or “stop” for an answer.

I dunno, wlxaa392a001f7d has a nice ring to it

Yup. Your body is hardcore. Too hardcore for itself, even.

This too. And if you must use an antipyretic, supplement with external insulation or heat.

Because your body can (and sometimes does) overshoot the mark and kill things it isn’t intending to kill with heat. It also uses up your stored energy meaning you must eat more and more often.

Better to make your body stop overheating itself, and trap heat with coverings. If you get too hot, it can be modulated by reducing or adding cover. And external heat like a water bottle can bring temps up quickly, and keep you at raised temps safely.

There is also the discomfort from a fever as well. Too much discomfort will lead people to make possibly bad decisions. Pain management is always something to keep in mind.
